Ideal facial proportions and the golden ratio for men and women. What should be the ideal nose? The perfect nose for a girl

Five hundred years ago, in Italy, there lived a man who was even more worried about the proportions of a woman's nose than the visitors of this site. The man's name was Leonardo Da Vinci. He was an artist, and in his spare time he was looking for universal formula, which could answer the question: "Why, for example, the face of Elena Korikova seems to others more harmonious than the face of Sarah Jessica Parker"?

Da Vinci thought for a long time, calculated, and eventually created drawings that surgeons around the world are still guided by. These drawings describe the ideal ratio of the parts of a woman's face.

Divine Proportions by Leonardo Da Vinci

It is known that widely spaced eyes are considered beautiful and small nose. According to classical canons, the distance between the eyes should be equal to the width of the palpebral fissure, and the borders of the nose should not go beyond the lines drawn through the inner corners of the eyes. If the nose is too big and the eyes are set too close, rhinoplasty can balance the proportions. If you narrow the tip too wide, the nose will decrease, and the eyes will visually move apart.

The ideal nose length is described by a, b and c. The distance from the hairline to the eyebrows is equal to the distance from the eyebrow line to the line drawn under the nose, and is equal to the distance from the line drawn under the nose to the chin line. Returning to the beginning of this chapter, we note that Sarah Jessica Parker's b is much larger than a.

The borders of the lips should reach the lines drawn through the inner edge of the pupils. The mouth should be about one and a half (1.5) times as wide as the nose.

Ideal Profile

The angle depicted in this picture is called the nasolabial angle. For women, it is preferable that the nasolabial angle be greater than 90 degrees.

The angle between the line of the forehead and the bridge of the nose should be between 30 and 40 degrees. Too much angle delineates too high bridge of the nose. If the angle is too small, it is also not pleasant - the back is too low, the face looks "flat".

The column, or, in other words, the columella, is the same skin jumper between the nostrils that is cut during open rhinoplasty. It is considered beautiful when the column is lowered just below the level of the wings.

What do Sarah Jessica Parker and Anna Akhmatova have in common? Talent and expressive nose! Together with the universal master Anastasia Cherenkova, we figured out the intricacies of makeup and hairstyles for girls with large and wide noses.

“To love your nose, you need to learn how to work with proofreaders, and not look for a fashionable plastic surgeon.”

If you think your nose is wide, the NYX Conceal, Correct, Contour Palette - Deep 303 palette will help you. Draw a light line along the center of its back, slightly darken the “wings” with a dark shade and gently blend the correctors - the effect should be light. The secret to good shading is in as much natural light as possible. I recommend that clients place the dressing table right next to the window.

To visually reduce the volume of the nose, apply a dark corrector to the very tip, and a light corrector to the bridge of the nose. Don't forget that you are working with tricky dense textures that require skill. An option in case you are in a hurry and want to be sure of the result is to replace the dark corrector with a light bronzer (apply a thin layer with a fluffy brush), and the light one with a transparent highlighter. The play of textures will model your nose as well as the contrast of colors.

My trick for working with prominent noses is to choose the most attractive feature on the client's face and turn it into the main accent. If you love your lips - apply juicy lipstick on them (a win-win - Nouba Millebaci 7), be proud of the texture of your hair - feel free to loosen them, as Sarah Jessica Parker does in Sex in big city". Her textured curls (and endless optimism) make big nose charming.

What hairstyle to choose to visually correct a prominent nose? First, forget about the bangs - when it covers your forehead, it is the nose that becomes the main focus on the face.

If you do not feel comfortable with an open face and are not ready to part with bangs - try one of three options: 1) ask the master to make it torn and slightly sloppy - to get away from the straight geometric shape; 2) remember the best poems Anna Akhmatova and cut the bangs short - so that part of the forehead still remains visible; 3) conduct an experiment in front of a mirror and comb the bangs to one side - a well-thought-out asymmetry in the upper part of the face will visually “smooth out” the relief and reduce the volume of the nose.

Your hairstyle shows volume! This is the easiest way to mask large facial features, whether it be a nose or a heavy chin. To choose the right level of volume - evaluate your physique. For very thin girls (like Barbara Streisand), it is enough to lift the hair at the roots a little with a hair dryer and a light styling product.

If your constitution is somewhere between Meryl Streep and Kate Winslet - enhance the volume with varnish with good fixation.

The vast majority of clinic patients plastic surgery turn to doctors with a mutual problem, whose name is the nose. Rhinoplasty has been on the list of the most sought-after aesthetic procedures for 10 years now. But some girls, frankly afraid of "going under the knife", suffer all their lives because of an unattractive facial feature, gradually "acquiring" serious psychological complexes, and even barriers to social adaptation.

They don't even know what to create beautiful nose at home - the task is quite feasible for everyone.

You can say hundreds of times that any defect of the body and face is a kind of highlight, distinguishing feature, the manifestation of individuality and uniqueness ...

But most of beautiful ladies fundamentally disagree with this theory, sincerely considering their own nose the biggest problem in life.

A small motivational digression

If you still believe that rhinoplasty is a real panacea for you, we are in a hurry to disappoint you and debunk your baseless beliefs.

Firstly, any, even an obvious defect, can be easily veiled, having certain skills in working with decorative cosmetics. Moreover, even a layman who has never had experience in professional makeup can learn this.

Secondly, there are other tricks for " averting eyes" from your problem. Even a beautiful hairstyle and stylish look can throw all the attention of the people around them onto themselves, and make them not look at all in the direction of your " big problem».

And, thirdly, and most importantly, there are a lot of incredibly beautiful, magnetic and attractive women with really big nose. And to be convinced of this, you don’t need to go far - just look at Hollywood actresses, world-famous top models and popular singers.

List of the most beautiful famous girls with a big nose:

Gisele Bundchen. The top model, known all over the world, is not distinguished by the elegance and diminutiveness of her nose. A princess modeling business is not only a stunning beauty, but also extremely pleasant, interesting interlocutor. She is used to doing things on her own. In the fashion environment, she is considered a real “iron lady”, because, unlike almost all her colleagues, she was not too lucky with a natural figure. Giselle is famous for her great willpower, good nature and undeniable talent. Once she announced that she was planning to do rhinoplasty to slightly correct the shape of her nose. However, it never came to concrete action, and who knows how a radical change in appearance would have affected a career;

Adriana Lima. The world-famous model, who became famous as a Victoria's Secret angel, proved to everyone by personal example that a snub-nosed, somewhat wide "potato" nose is beautiful! Adriana for a long time was on the list of the most beautiful and sexy women planets according to the male version. Meanwhile, in addition to the “imperfect” nose, her face is distinguished by serious asymmetry. And can anyone argue with the fact that this Brazilian is stunningly beautiful?;

Linda Evangelista. Make your nose calling card- that's real art! Linda Evangelista is remembered and known by everyone, young and old. She was one of the most famous models in the 90s, surpassing even Cindy Crawford and Claudia Slate in popularity. One of the most beautiful women on Earth is in no hurry for rhinoplasty even now, when her stellar career essentially ended. She rightfully considers it a crime to deprive her expressive face of this sweet distinctive feature.

Jennifer Aniston. Her dad is Greek, so she inherited a massive nose quite predictably. However, many women, remembering love triangle Aniston-Pitt-Jolie, to this day, side with the first blue-eyed cutie. The recognized fatal beauty Angelina Jolie, who, by the way, in her youth also did not differ in the elegance of her nose, does not evoke such warm emotions in the public as the “imperfect” Aniston;

Samantha Cameron. Her nose, "equipped" with a beak and hump, was recognized as the most beautiful according to the British. Women who voted in the poll emphasized that a neat hump on the nose is not only beautiful, but also aristocratic;

Sarah Jessica Parker never suffered from her large nose, nor from extravagant appearance in general. The actress assures that each person is individual, and correcting one's own facial features for the sake of society is a real crime against oneself and one's ancestors. Is it possible to reasonably refute her statement?;

Penelope Cruz is a burning Latin American beauty, whose nose is by no means strictly proportional. She has a lot of roles in world bestsellers, her work is recognized by the highest award ceremonies, her partners in the movie theater are great Hollywood actors who will remain legends until the time of our grandchildren. She was always surrounded by selected, thoroughbred men. And a frankly long nose does not prevent her from enjoying life and her profession;

Meryl Streep. A legendary woman, recognized as one of the most talented actresses of our time. Look at her nose, which is at least quite long. And Streep's appearance itself cannot be called canonically beautiful. After all, she is not included in the category of sexy young ladies with plump lips and long eyelashes, and, in fact, has never met the generally accepted standards in this regard. But she is Meryl Streep, and I think that says it all;

Rihanna. Despite the appearance that is too “neat” for a mestizo, the nose of this most popular singer has clearly gone into the Negroid “breeds”. It cannot be called too massive, but it is foolish to argue with the fact that it is extremely wide. Despite this, Rihanna is also considered one of the most desirable women in the world, and is in no hurry to give up her position to the “newcomers”.

But the nose has been repeatedly recognized as the most beautiful noses in the world:

• Natalie Portman;
• Angelina Jolie;
• Monica Bellucci.

If all that has been written has not convinced you at all that the notorious humpback is not an obstacle to success and happiness, let's try to correct the problematic part of the face on our own.

Be sure - you yourself can make the most beautiful nose by simply using high-quality decorative cosmetics.

Makeup can do anything!

... and there is not a shred of sarcasm or irony in this phrase. The correct and consistent application of decorative cosmetics can really radically change your face, make it perfect and refined. However, incorrect application of make-up can also play a trick on you, highlighting the flaws.

First, decide what kind of nose is considered beautiful for you. Thought? And now arm yourself with high-quality proofreaders and sculptors for the face, and - forward, to man-made plastic!

So, how beautifully and correctly "draw" the nose with concealers?

• Do facial contouring. It is impossible to draw only the nose - it is important to harmonize the whole face! Pay attention to YouTube beauty bloggers filming tutorials marked “ sculpting"or" contouring ";
• Adjust your eyebrows. In no case do not draw a “close landing" for them if your nose is wide in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe wings;
• If the nose is snub-nosed, try to “whiten” its hole as much as possible with a matte highlighter;
• If the nose is wide and massive, do this: draw a line on both sides of it with a dark corrector, slightly shading the contours. In the middle of the nose, apply a light foundation with a thin line. Be sure to fix and smooth the result with fixing powder;
• It is believed that a small chin can visually enlarge the nose. Therefore, try to give the missing volume to this part of the face.

Whatever nose you get from nature and genetics, you can change its shape without a plastic surgeon. Remember - any operation entails certain problems, complications, and sometimes serious risks. Is it worth it to volunteer? Be beautiful and confident, no matter the circumstances!

The nose, it would seem, is a relatively small part of the body, but it is it that creates the unique appearance of a person.

But not all people love their nose, so plastic surgery to correct this part of the face is incredibly popular, and is even considered the most popular procedure!

So, the ideal shape of the nose - what is it? Of course, before answering this question, it is worth focusing on the fact that each nationality has its own physiological features and ideals.

A nose with the following configurations is considered ideal and correct: a straight back, a rounded tip (slightly upturned), a streamlined shape along the entire length. And most importantly - it must be in harmony with the rest of the face. But the angle between the columella and the protruding point of the tip should be 45 degrees. The angle between the columella and the upper lip should be: for women, about 105 degrees, and for men - 95. The nostrils should be symmetrical, and the wings should have smooth outlines.

An example can be taken from real life: for example, actress Jessica Biel has a very beautiful shape (according to recognized standards).

Is it possible to determine the character of a person by this part of the face? In this matter, physiognomy comes to the rescue, capable of characterizing the personality and character of a person according to external data.

Although not every person will agree with the description of his character, nevertheless the science of physiognomy is very interesting:

• the owner of a long nose is distinguished by tact and sensitivity, poise;
• a short one speaks of impulsiveness, openness, flexibility of character, optimism;
• narrow indicates high efficiency, responsibility;
• a person with a wide nose has loyalty and devotion, good nature, the ability to make responsible and important decisions;
• the Greek nose speaks of a person’s integrity and independence, his leadership qualities, pride; hawk - exactingness, erudition, analytical mindset; snub-nosed - cheerfulness, sociability, kindness, generosity; the shape of a potato - hot temper, phlegm, directness.

Changing the shape of the nose is possible with the help of plastic surgery- rhinoplasty. The operation is resorted to by people who are chronically dissatisfied with their natural form, to fix some individual elements(for example, elimination of the hump, raising the tip, correcting the nasal septum, etc.), or to correct the consequences of injuries.

Rhinoplasty can eliminate the hump, restore proportions, eliminate the consequences of a congenital defect or injury, correct the tip and wings of the nose, etc. That is, the operation can qualitatively correct this part of the face for aesthetic and functional purposes.

How much does nose shape correction cost in Moscow? Prices are very different in different clinics, but on average they are:

Before rhinoplasty, a person consults with a specialist to find the ideal shape for himself. After all, the whole secret is in proportions, for example, if a woman wants a shape like that of her favorite actress, this does not mean that he will make her more beautiful, perhaps even the effect will be the opposite of what is expected.

But thanks modern technologies 3D modeling of the face is performed, which allows the patient to look at the photo on his appearance in the future and understand whether he likes the new appearance.

By the way, now there are even online consultations that allow you to find out everything you need without leaving your home.

What to do if rhinoplasty is impossible, but you want to become more attractive? It is possible to change the shape of the nose without surgery using visual correction.

Depending on what result you need, you will have to do a certain make-up. To do this, you need light and dark powder (or foundation). The rule is very simple: if you need to visually reduce the area, dark powder is applied to it, and if the area needs to be highlighted and made more convex and voluminous, then light. For example, to reduce a long nose, you need to apply dark powder on the base and light powder on the wings.

Since ancient times, people have tried to understand what is beautiful and why. We are well aware of the ideas of the ancient Greeks about the ideal appearance, expressed in beautiful sculptures. Look at the Venus de Milo: her noble nose is completely even, without a recess at the top, forming a straight line with her forehead.

During the Renaissance, artists closely studied the structure of the human body. They tried to create an image of an ideal person, whose proportions obey mathematical laws and are correlated with the golden ratio, the ideal proportion.

You can imagine how difficult it is for a person with a nose that attracts attention. A girl may have incredibly beautiful eyes, but a young man will only look at her too long nose. Or, for example, a man whom nature “rewarded” with an upturned nose: how can you remain decisive and strong-willed if everyone takes you for a frivolous person? This is especially important when meeting. After all, for a while, until a person sees your beautiful character or talents (and he may not see!) you will be for him “the one with long nose"or" the one with the button nose. Very disappointing! Just remember Cyrano de Bergerac, who had problems all his life because of his nose.

Nowadays, the proportions of the nose are measured and expressed in numbers.

Look at the profile of a European-type person. An important parameter is the naso-facial angle (1). It is believed that it should be 34-36 °. However, don't worry if this is not the case. In Venus de Milo with her straight nose, this angle is generally equal to zero. The nasolabial angle (2) is also measured, the standard value of which is 105° in women and 95° in men, although it can vary significantly with age: the nose tends to become hooked.

The bridge of the nose should be located just above the lash line of the upper eyelid and protrude 9-14 mm forward beyond the line of the eyelids or be 4-6 mm deeper than the glabella.

Of course, it is correct if the nostrils are symmetrical. They are separated by a septum called the columella. She, this columella, should be 3-5 mm below the edge of the nostril.

The ideal nose does not have to be absolutely straight. It is considered correct if there is a small, barely noticeable hump (no more than 2 mm) and a slightly raised tip of the nose.

Do you already want to have such a perfect nose? Do not hurry. Facial parameters are not beauty. Not everything is so simple: built according to the ruler and - beautifully. Such a nose will only fit the same face built according to the laws of the golden section. But the whole head antique statue don't put yourself on.

But there is a way out. Any artist will say: in order for the whole (in this case, the face) to look harmonious, it is not the individual honors that are important in themselves, but the correct proportions and ratios of the parts to each other. So let's put a larger nose on a large face, and a smaller one on a small face. A slightly upturned nose will do for short women, and it is absolutely useless for tall women - people will pay excessive attention to their nostrils.

Even if we had such a crazy idea to give everyone a perfect nose, then we would not have succeeded. No matter how hard we try, the noses will still turn out to be individual, let's say more - unique.

It is no exaggeration to say that each of us is concerned about how he looks. Nowadays, the attractive appearance of a person is perceived as a sign of his health and even success.

Many professions require an attractive appearance, therefore, a career sometimes depends on this. Needless to say, how important appearance is for girls of top models, but there are still flight attendants and secretaries, and what to say, everyone who has to represent and communicate with people.

Therefore, one can understand how much suffering and even tears can cause a young girl too much a big nose, or too fat, or humpbacked, or snub-nosed. Such problems often give rise to complexes, consciousness of one's own inferiority.
